Time Reborn
From the Crisis in Physics to the Future of the Universe
Lee Smolin - 2013-04-23
Goodreads Rating
Explore a radical new view of time and the cosmos in this thought-provoking book from a leading public intellectual. While many physicists argue that time is just an illusion, Lee Smolin challenges this notion, arguing that it's holding physics back. He proposes a major revolution in scientific thought, positing that the laws of physics themselves might evolve over time. With major implications for fields from climate change to theoretical physics, Time Reborn is a must-read for anyone looking to expand their understanding of the universe.

I just finished these two great books. In later chapters of About Time @AdamFrank4 discusses various speculative theories of the Universe, which I really liked. In "Time Reborn" Lee Smoolin discuss why time is fundamental. Both books are highly recommended.      source

I finished "What is Real?" by Adam Becker. It described a history of Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics. I have read several books on this subject, but this is the best one.      source
